Notification messages sent in wrong language

One of our users pointed out that our site behaves strange when it sends out notification emails following private messages.

We're using CB (latest release version) together with uddeIM (latest version).

User A has French as default language, user B has English as default language.

When user A sends a private message to user B, user B receives the notification emails in French. When user B sends a message to user A, user A receives this email in English.

So, basically, each user receives a notification email in a language that is not their default. It's in the language of the user sending the message instead of the one receiving it.

I searched the forum and couldn't find anything on that subject. I checked all possible settings in CB and uddeIM but couldn't see anything that sounds distantly related to that oddity.

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong with our site?

uddeIM uses the same language as defined in Joomla.

Yes, but isn't that wrong?

If someone uses Spanish to send a message to a user whose language is English, the recipient should receive the notification message in English (his/her language), not Spanish.

uddeIM uses the language the sender has visited/configured, which is not necessarily something the recipient can understand.

No, not really. uddeIM has no possibilty to identify the language the receiver has configured. So it uses the default frontend language.

Wouldn't something like that work?
This is untested, but I'll give it a go as soon as I find a place where to put it.

[code:1]
function uddeIMgetLanguageFromID ($id, $config) {
$user = &JFactory::getUser ($id);
$lang = &JFactory::getLanguage ();
$user_language = $user->getParam ('language', $lang->getDefault);
$user_lang = new JLanguage ($user_language);
$language = strtolower ($user_lang->getBackwardLang());
return $language;
}
[/code:1]

Yes, it works. I almost got it completed.
I'll come back as soon as I have it fully implemented.
